The Cholsey and Wallingford Railway is a preserved former Great Western
Railway branchline that links the national railway network at Cholsey, with
the historic market town of Wallingford, Oxfordshire. Trains run on selected
weekends and bank holidays throughout the year and, where available, are
steam hauled.
Known locally as "The Bunk", passenger services ceased in 1959. Having
secured the line in 1981, the CWR Preservation Society now aims to re-create
a GWR Station, similar to the original, at its site in Hithercroft Road. The
photograph above depicts visiting Pannier Tank No.9466 on a re-creation
goods train in 1999.
